Defending individual liberty against the tyranny of government.
Truth, justice and the American way: liberty without compromise.

Life, liberty, and property do not exist because men have made laws. On the contrary, it was the fact that life,liberty, and property existed beforehand that caused men to make laws in the first place. - Frédéric Bastiat

[Lore is impersonating Data to get an improved emotion chip]LORE: The sons of the prophet were valiant and bold And quite unaccustomed to fear But of all the most reckless, or so I am told Was Abdul Abulbul Amir

SOONG: How do you feel?

LORE: I always loved that ditty. I could never quite get the cadence down before. Thank you, father.

I always thought the chip was for basic emotions, and Lore wanted to steal it because he was jealous of Data. He also felt that Soong owed him, so tricking him (then killing him) was revenge. But maybe it was the same chip that Lore had, and Soong was just going to put the same into Data.
